Twins pitcher Trevor May (illness) said he was able to throw 15-to-20 pitches Tuesday without issue, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

May plans to face hitters Wednesday to get back on schedule. He was one of five players sent home from Monday's workouts due to illness, but he was able to return one day later. May is competing for a rotation spot this spring.

Twins pitcher Alex Meyer, who missed several days last week due to personal reasons and is also dealing with an illness, tossed live batting practice on Monday and told reporters he's not far from the other pitchers in camp, per the Star Tribune.

The Twins have yet to decide if he'll make an appearance in Wednesday's exhibition game against the University of Minnesota.

All five Twins players -- Byron Buxton, Trevor May, Oswaldo Arcia, Jordan Schafer and Kurt Suzuki -- that were sent home due to illness on Monday, returned to the clubhouse on Tuesday and rejoined the club for workouts, reports the Star Tribune.

The Twins begin exhibition season Wednesday with a game against the University of Minnesota.

The Twins are working on signing second baseman Brian Dozier to a contract extension, according to the Pioneer Press. There were strong indications Tuesday the Twins were making progress with Dozier's agent -- Damon Lapa -- and a contract extension could be close to being finalized, a source said.

“I’d love to be here,” said Dozier, who declined to comment on the negotiations. “I don’t want to be anywhere else. If the opportunity presents itself, then I’m all for it. We’ll see.”

Dozier is not arbitration eligible until after the 2015 season. If he does sign a contract extension, it will likely run through all three of his arbitration years and likely 1-2 free agent years.

Dozier tied a career high with 33 doubles in 2014, but he did finish with a career-best 23 home runs. He also had a career-high 21 stolen bases and 112 runs.
